I have always loved the place and felt that it would be a great destination for me to get married.”

Also, don’t you all want to know how Kajol and Ankit met? The Karmphal Data Shani actress shared with the TOI, “My sister had asked me to help my jiju (brother-in-law) with shopping. I, along with my family, went to Pune 20 days before the wedding and that’s when I first met Ankit. I hated him initially, because he came across as arrogant. However, I soon realised that he was an introvert, who took his time to open up to people. He is a genuine and loyal person. We kept in touch after the wedding and became friends by November. What helped us bond over was our love for travelling and the fact that both of us are family-oriented. Soon, we realised that what we shared was more than just friendship. In the meanwhile, their families also felt that they are a perfect pair. The rest, as they say, is history.”

Kajol had also shared her excitement about finally being engaged in an interview and shared, “I am feeling really happy. I was not really sure about marriage initially because I wanted to get married after like five years as I was not prepared for it. But Ankit's confidence and his efforts made me realise that we can take this ahead. Otherwise, I was sure that I won't get married before 30 years and I think I have taken the right decision." Kajol also clarified that she will be pursuing her career as diligently as she did it before. (Don't Miss! Sargun Mehta Reveals Husband Ravi Dubey's Idea Of Romance, Shares A Funny Experience)
